      I think you'll get more responses to this if you post it here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forum/11-general-lap-band-surgery-discussion/. There isn't much you can do to prevent excess or flabby skin.

    There isn't much you can do to prevent excess or flabby skin. How your skin reacts to massive weight loss depends mostly on your genetics and your age (skin loses elasticity as we age). Exercise can help you keep the muscles underneath toned, but once skin is stretched out, it's stretched out. That's why a lot of WLS patients have plastic surgery after they reach their goal weight.
